NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care board (BSW ICB) intends to award a contract to Swindon & Gloucestershire Mind Ltd to deliver Postvention Bereavement Services to residents or people who are registered with a GP, within the boundaries of Swindon and Wiltshire.
A core feature of service provision will be the continuous involvement of people with lived experience to inform and influence ongoing transformation and development. This will be achieved through not only formal opportunities but also through comprehensive analysis of data and outcomes related to people seen within the services.
Access Information will be gathered by the service provider and uploaded into the Mental Health Services Dataset (MHSDS). This will, as a minimum, allow number of contacts (at patient level) to be measured. Through joint work with partners and using outputs from the MHSDS, the provider will demonstrate how their service offer has provided timely access to the service and, where relevant, timely transfer to other partners. This will include: waiting time to first contact, waiting time to first intervention and waiting time for any onward intervention required. They will monitor this quarterly in conjunction with commissioners or more frequently if required.
At first contact, staff will be expected to conduct a support conversation with the individual. This support conversation will establish individual goals and anticipated outcomes that the person will be supported to work towards. This will be recorded on the agreed patient record in order that the information follows the person and they only have to tell their story once.
The contract term will be for 3 years with an optional extension of any period up to 1 year.
The contract value is £61,600.00 per annum giving a contract value of £184,800.00 for the initial contract period and £246,400.00 if the full extension period is adopted.
The new service will commence on the 1st November 2025.
This exercise was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.

Individual placement and support (IPS) is an evidence-based model of supported employment. It has been rigorously trialled and has consistently outperformed all other tested forms of support for job seekers with severe and enduring mental health problems. The implementation of IPS has been part of the NHS Long Term Plan and preceding strategies for national mental health improvement for over 9 years and is a fundamental part of the ongoing transformation of community mental health (CMH) services.
This Direct Award is for a 12 month continuation of IPS services across BSW, whilst a competitive procurement (to include expansion in to Primary Care) is undertaken in 2025/26.

NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board ("BSW ICB"), Somerset Integrated Care Board ("SICB"), Bath and North East Somerset ("BaNES") Council, Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire Council (the "Local Authorities") are responsible for commissioning Health and Care Services including Public Health Services within their localities.
References below to the "Commissioners" are to BSW ICB, SICB and the Local Authorities collectively.
The procurement was driven by the need to re-procure Community Services throughout all life stages. In line with the BSW Care Model, the life stages being procured were defined within two main groupings:
• Starting Well
o To provide children, young people, and families with support and care in the community, physical and emotional wellbeing, Community health and targeted support.
• Living/Aging Well
o Supporting self-care and prevention, proactive care and support, responding to urgent needs, rehabilitation and recovery from ill health and/or crisis.
The Dying Well element explored as part of the Market Engagement covering Palliative and end of life care in all settings and bereavement support are included in the two main groupings.
The procurement sought to appoint a sole provider or consortium of providers with a nominated lead provider to provide a service which is innovative, meets patients' expectations and fits the needs of the BSW population now and throughout the contract period.
Services are planned to commence from 01/04/2025.
The scope and value of the contract with the Provider will be based on the initial financial envelope. As a minimum, the Provider will be responsible for the delivery of the core services. There is a potential that the scope and value may change through the contract term.
The Commissioners were seeking services to be delivered innovatively in a way that meets the needs of the population now and throughout the contract period. As such, the Commissioners will expect the Provider to continuously engage with stakeholders and, in agreement with Commissioners, evolve the services ensuring they are fit for purpose and meets patients' needs. The services need to work in an integrated manner offering seamless community-based care, particularly from a patient's viewpoint.
Due to the complexity of the re-commissioning, and the complex nature of the community services being commissioned, the Commissioners are using a phased approach to secure the transformational change required. To enable this change and further integration of services, the Commissioners reserve the right to include the services defined as 'reserved services' defined within the procurement documentation within the contract without recourse to a further notice or procurement process.
Any further investment in addition to the contract value available for core services and the additional funds for reserve services will be determined during contract term alongside opportunities to improve value for money. This was taken into consideration with the initial advert.
This procurement was managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit ("SCW") on behalf of BSW ICB.
NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care BoardWAC-50376
NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract to IEG4 Limited under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 for a digitalised end to end patient management system to support the referrals, assessment, approval, contracting, payment and case management of NHS funded care packages. Information is required to seamlessly flow between processes by connecting the entire lifecycle into one platform and through an enforced digital workflow. The system needs to facilitate the services to deliver enhanced transformation and is expected to become the primary source of record keeping for all aspects connected with individuals receiving NHS funding.
One of the key requirements for the new system will be the need for it to be sufficiently flexible to support a wide range of services outside the traditional CHC / Funded Nursing Care (FNC) / Fast Track (FT) / Continuing Care (CC) agenda. Service wide transformation will be implemented across all areas including clinical, business, performance, finance and contracting and commissioning, as well as other clinical pathways for example Acquired Brain Injury, Mental Health, and Specialist Placements.
Enabling better integration between systems across Health and Social Care is also critical. These services cover and links many elements of the health and social care system. Therefore, interoperability is of paramount importance, allowing for the ICB and wider Health and Social Care teams to share and view records. This will support improved accessibility and visibility of data which in turn will enable more efficient and streamlined workflows for all teams and a better person experience.
The contract term will be for 3 years with an optional extension of any period up to 2 years.
The contract value £175,000 in year one, £159,200 in year two and 163,400 in year 3 inclusive of VAT, with a total contract lifecycle value of £497,600 over 3 years, and a possible extension of any period up to a further 2 years giving a total value of £824,400 if the full extension period is adopted.
This procurement was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.

Commissioners reserved the right to add funding to the contract over its duration to accommodate service development measures or initiatives, up to an equivalent value of the original contract. For the avoidance of doubt, this would mean an annual contract value of, for example, £440k per annum and a consequent increase in the overall contract value.
The contract durations are for 3 years plus an option to extend of any period of up to a further 2 years, with service commencement on the 1st April 2025 for all lots.
